Welcoming a new year

As 2009 comes to a close I look back and think of all that’s happened this year.  Lots of changes for me personally.  I have much to be thankful for, including: a job, a roof over my head, loving & caring family & friends, my health, and much, much more.
This year I learned a lot.  About life, about myself, about making changes and learning to live with the effects.   I also made a lot of new friends.
We welcomed a new member to our family (Caitlin).

I look forward to 2010 and whatever it will bring.  Certainly no experience is a bad experience, just as long as I’m sure to learn from them all.
